A writ petition has been filed today with the High Court for asking judicial investigation regarding the corruption in purchasing books for setting up Bangabandhu Corner at all government primary schools.
Supreme Court lawyer Barrister Syed Sayedul Haque Sumon filed the writ petition on Monday.
The High Court bench of Justice Obaidul Hassan and Justice KM Zahirul Hoque is likely to hear the writ petition this week.
In the writ petition, the petitioner also asked to issue a rule why the government's inaction against those who are involved with corruption in purchasing books for setting up Bangabandhu Corner at all government primary schools should not be declared illegal.
Secretary of the Ministry of Liberation War, Secretary of the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education, Director General of the Department of Primary and Mass Education, Multimedia Limited and Swadhika Publishers, alleged Journalist and his wife were made respondents in the writ petition.
Earlier on 26 August, the parliamentary standing committee on primary education ministry formed a sub-committee to investigate allegations of corruption in purchasing books for Bangabandhu Corners in primary schools.
The four-member committee, led by member Nazrul Islam Babu, was supposed to submit a report within 30 days.
Allegations were raised against a senior reporter of a private television channel that he has violated the copyright act while re-printing and delivering of those books for Bangabandhu Corner.
